Blood of Empire

De: Brian McClellan

Narrado por: John Telfer

As the final battle approaches, a sellsword, a spy, and a general must find unlikely and dangerous allies in order to turn the tides of war in this epic fantasy tale of magic and gunpowder by acclaimed author Brian McClellan.

The Dynize have unlocked the Landfall Godstone, and Michel Bravis is tasked with returning to Greenfire Depths to do whatever he can to prevent them from using its power: from sewing dissension among the enemy ranks to rallying the Palo population.

Ben Styke's invasion of Dynize is curtailed when a storm scatters his fleet. Coming ashore with just 20 lancers, he is forced to rely on brains rather than brawn - gaining new allies in a strange land on the cusp of its own internal violence.

Bereft of her sorcery and physically and emotionally broken, Lady Vlora Flint now marches on Landfall at the head of an Adran army seeking vengeance against those who have conspired against her. While allied politicians seek to undo her from within, she faces insurmountable odds and Dynize's greatest general.

Good Story, New Narrator did his best.

Loved the end to the story. The new narrator wasn't perfect, but did an admirable job all things considered. If he had been the narrator for the whole series, I would have still enjoyed it.

And for those complaining about the narrator switch, it wasn't something they chose, Christian Rodska (the previous narrator) died of cancer in between the release of book 5 and 6, so the switch wasn't something anyone wanted to do.

Why did the reader switch!?

I've really liked the stories in these books and the different take on magic, but why on earth would you switch readers for the last book in the series! Its made it very hard to get back into the story since all the characters sound and act differently.

So good!

Yup - they had to switch narrators, but they picked as close to the same as they could get - nobody's fault, life happens. I am incredibly humbled by the story details, sophisticated well emotion'ed characters and tying it all together in a perfect conclusion. This story was entertaining throughout, never a dull moment and constantly evolving. Soooooo good! You're an idiot if you don't continue the series!

Thank you for a Good Ending!

Thank you Brian McClellen for a Good Ending! Too often have invested lots of time in an interesting new world builder w/ characters. First book becomes book two and the investment grows ... then the author can't seem to tie the loose ends together - slap dash -the trilogy ends with the bang of a soap bubble. thank you for a unique world and a great story.
Powder Mage, omg, you must have found an amazing shroom patch. thanks again! kw

Great conclusion to the story

Really enjoyed this last book. There were definitely branches of the story and characters that I wish had been explored more, but I was satisfied with the ending

Awesome.

Awesome book. It's unfortunate about the needed change of narrators, but it is what it is, you'll get used to it. Use your imagination.

excellence... but one issue...

The music at the beginning and end of the audiobook was terrible. Sounded like generic awards show filler.

The change in narrators was jarring. Completely changed my image of Ben Styke. I got used to it though, he sounded more heroic.

Very satisfied with the series as a whole. thanks.

Super series

I am so sad I did not listen to the novellas. This was a great set of trilogies and I am sad they are done.

Narrator does a really good job replacing Rodska

almost didn't get this one in hopes that Christian Rodska would remake it. took a little while to get adjusted but the narrator does an excellent job. Had some pretty big shoes to fill but he definitely did it

a different reader but still pretty good

the new narrator was a surprise but he was still pretty good. the book was epic and I loved the ending.
